#AND A FUCKING BAFTA NOMINATION

[emotinalsupportturtle]

Just David Tennant once again calling out the BAFTAs for never nominating him, but this time as the host of the BAFTA awards. Iconic behavior

[lorephobic]

keeping up with awards season has truly turned me into such a vitriolic and bitter person i think the academy should explode and there should be no survivors

[patrickzvveig]

ambika mod really walked away from This is Going to Hurt without a nomination from almost any prestigious awards associations what is wrong with the world lmfaoooooo??!???!!!

[wispedvellichor]

fucking ICONIC how David is nominated for not one but THREE BAFTAs (different categories but hes in em) and they ALL involve him being a depressed canonically genderfluid neurodivergent noodle like the BAFTA bitches were like THIS guy is getting a bafta for the first time cuz hes SO GAY and SO SAD and we love them for that

= Love Notes =

Hey lovelies! Today's been amazing! Definitely been a lot of engagement and we're getting to celebrate our lovely captain! Soooo many people signed the 50th birthday Kudoboard that ended tonight ( and the Taika Kudoboard that ended yesterday). So many crewmates stepped out of their comfort zone and put themselves out there, and I just want to say how proud of you I am. I know it's hard to put yourself out there in case you can get hurt, but you still did it for the good of something / someone you love, and you should be proud of that! I hope you're getting some joy out of these days. I know it can be a bit of a double edged sword because we miss Stede and Ed and the whole Revenge crew so much. It's reminding a lot of folks of the gravy basket. Just a gentle reminder that things aren't over. Even if we're not fighting full force right now-- it's not over. It'll never be over. So many people are behind us, and so many other shows have gotten renewed later, sometimes years laters. I know you've heard it all before, but this isn't the end. If you feel up for it, take these days that are for celebrating, and even if you do it just with yourself, do something to celebrate the things and people you love. If you're feeling alone and have discord, feel free to join us on the #RhysDarbyFaction server tomorrow. We'll be doing a lot of group stuff to try and keep some of the love going. If you're not-- reach out to any of your crew. We're here, and we care and we want you all to be okay. Remember to lean on each other, you're all such kind, resilient, and wonderful people and kindness is what keeps this world moving in the right direction. Our crewmate @ourflagmeansfanfiction made a lovely picture that felt appropriate for tonight. You are strong, and beautiful, and we're all gonna get through this together. Night crew <3

guys david just got his first ever bafta nom stop shitting on him and crowley. yes I would love for Michael to be nominated too. but david did fucking amazing and deserves this entirely. Michael is absolutely David's #1 fan and has been supporting him through everything, and is most definitely proud of him for getting the recognition he deserves. let david have one day where he is the star. you've all yelled about how david was hosting the baftas while never having been nominated and now he has. now stop yelling to say that Michael should be there instead of him! every new event creates lose lose situations here. do you think Michael would tolerate everyone screaming about how david doesn't deserve it? no! he's up there congratulating his best friend. be happy for david and let him have his moment.

there needs to be a separation between actor and character. and if you really love one character, you should still acknowledge their faults instead of bashing another character. I love aziraphale, I see myself in a lot of his character. but he's flawed. and I acknowledge that. and I'm not spitting on crowley because he didn't go to heaven. too many people are carrying over their hatred for Crowley onto david and it is entirely undeserved on both parts. they are not the same person!

[toomuchracket]

i cannot stop thinking about ross and girlys height difference. it’s plagued my mind i fear. like his hands being so much bigger than hers (them comparing hand sizes in a sort of flirty way pre-dating and both losing their mind!!). his clothes being really oversized on her etc etc. (and of course size kink definitely comes into it, i go feral every time)

arguably this would work for any ross universe but i have girlband gf on the noggin rn so we're doing that. genuinely the first time you guys ever met, there was hand size comparison - i see it as being at some music industry dinner thing, kinda along the lines of the lunches actors go to if they get nominated for oscars or baftas, and you and ross end up sat next to/opposite each other and get chatting. he asks you who played bass on your band's newest single, and you blush profusely and say "i did, but it was a struggle lol look at how tiny my hands are"; ross's eyes go wide when you lift your hand up, and he tentatively presses his own against it like "christ, you're not kidding. could fit both of your hands in one of mine!", and your brain short-circuits because oh my fucking god look at the size of his hands!! so does ross's, and it only gets worse when you both get roped into taking a pic and you have to stand up; you're wearing heels and he STILL towers over you, and quite frankly you're fucking obsessed with it (and him. and so enamoured by how handsome and funny and sweet he is! god. you're so fucked). he actually uses the disparity between your hands as a means of ensuring you don't lose contact - before he leaves, he writes his number on your arm ("your hand's too small for me to put it there, love") and says "phone me if you need someone to play bass on a song. just so you don't strain your tiny hands trying to do it yourself, yeah?". you're like jesus christ YES and say "will do, darling. but also... i can't fit my hand around a pint glass, either. can i call you if i want a drink, and you'll help me out with that too?", and ross blushes before smirking like "anytime you want, of course". in terms of height difference... you both run the risk of developing back problems trying to kiss the other while standing, but that's easily solved by ross just picking you up to make out with you, or laying you down and doing it; that's your fave, because it almost always ends up in sex (which, like you said, is made all the more fun by how much bigger and stronger ross is than you. he's lifting you and manoeuvring you like you're a little doll, and it's the best. princess treatment in the dirtiest way!!). and then afterwards, you get to steal his clothes, and just allow yourself to be enveloped in both the fabric and the comforting smell of your boyfriend from his shirts and t shirts and hoodies - in fairness, though, you don't reserve that for post-sex, you have literally gone out wearing one of ross's tops as a dress, and needless to say he loved every second. yeah, i love this <3

[doctortwhohiddles]

If someone fucked it up big time, it's Patty. Had she simply accepted reality when she was shown Kit's birth certificate, she wouldn't be in this mess. She keeps looking like a fucking idiot. She might have made her blog private, but her cult members haven't. Meaning that any potential employer googling her will still find her BS. So I very much doubt the job hunting is doing well.

As for Mstoxictea, real fans are excited about all his projects. Not just the Marvel stuff. She also needs to get out of her echo chamber. From what I've seen, people are actually excited to see RDJ as Doctor Doom. My guess is that she's pissed because it sounds too much like Doctor Strange.

Again, Ben's career is doing fine. Since he got together with Sophie, he won an Emmy and a BAFTA. He got nominated for an Oscar twice. His production company keeps producing well reviewed projects. Etc. Does that sound like someone who is fucking it up? Can you imagine how the sQeptics would have reacted had that video of Sophie with Jane during the filming of TPoTD had been shown before the Oscars? They would have boycotted it like they did Eric.

DAVID TENNANT AS CROWLEY GOODOMENS NOMINATED FOR A BAFTA FOR BEST PERFORMANCE I FUCKING KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ingravinoveritas]

Just popping by to say how much I appreciate you. Thank you for always keeping a level head. Even when you're disagreeing or calling out bullshit, you still manage to stay diplomatic and respectful. And of course, you always focus on the important things, the main one being that Michael is David's #1 fan (and vice versa)

Aw, thank you so much for this! I can't tell you how nice it was to get this message in my inbox (and apologies for not replying sooner, as I've been entirely swamped and am now trying to catch up on my Asks).

Given that this was from two weeks ago, I'm going to guess that this is mainly in response to the whole situation with David's BAFTA nom and some of the reactions that have occurred as a result. I think a lot of people have said a lot of clumsy things (looking at you, Neil) and while some may not have meant to take away from David's big moment, that still seems to be what's happened. I absolutely believe David is more than deserving of the nomination and it is long overdue at this point. He should've been nominated for Des, or even before that, his role as Alec Hardy in Broadchurch, but I am so glad he's finally gotten a nomination now.

I think the reaction a lot of people had was borne out of how tied together David and Michael's performances are as Aziraphale and Crowley, and the thought that if David were to be nominated for that specific role, then one hopes that Michael will also be nominated for his role as Aziraphale at some other point in the future.

But to your comment about my keeping a level head, I find it interesting that, in the midst of all the theories flying around about why Michael wasn't nominated and questions I got to that effect, this post showed up in the tags the same day you sent me this Ask (blog name is cropped out):

This was very obviously in reference to this Ask that I received and had answered just prior to then. This person didn't even have the nerve to mention my blog by name, but had no problem calling me an "rpf fucker" (really nice...). The question pertained to whether Michael's lack of a BAFTA nom could have been because of Anna's off-putting social media posts prior to the announcement, and I indicated in my response that I did not believe this was the case. I am not about to place blame on Anna for something that she had no part of--which I suppose this person was hoping I would do, to give credence to their ludicrous claims of sexism--and I made my position on the matter clear.

So to your comment about me disagreeing, this was exactly what happened...and yet this person had to twist what I wrote so far around (to the point of lying by omission) just to make their point. And yes, I took that Ask seriously, as I take every Ask/Anon that I get seriously, even the ones that attack me (which is also why it takes me for-freaking-ever to answer the questions in my inbox). According to the above blogger, however, instead I should've responded to the person who sent the Ask by mocking them and telling them how ridiculous and stupid they are. Because just politely disagreeing while still allowing someone the space to share their thoughts is so horrible, but telling someone to fuck off is apparently the height of discourse. Ugh.

In any case, I am very much grateful for this message, and for you and everyone else who follows my blog and has been so lovely. It's your encouragement and kindness that gives me the drive to keep posting, so thank you! ❤️❤️

Top 10 Actors 2024

A new year, so I thought I’d post my updated actors I’d like fuck list.

#10. M. Emmet Walsh

A beloved character actor with a long, respectable career with over 200 films and television series. Sure he’s getting a little long in the tooth, but I’d still smash.

WHAT? This guy gave me a lot of j/o material over the years.

#9. Tim Hooper

The only guy on this list I KNOW I have a shot with as he’s gay.

#8. Dakin Matthews

An American actor, playwright, theatre director, and theatrical scholar who has such a cute face making him annoyingly adorable. Dakin has that perfect ‘Grandpa next door… that like to fuck’ look.

#7. Mark Addy

Mark Addy… DAMN. I need a few hours alone with him.

#6. Brett Rice

He’s tall, husky, handsome with a gravelly voice and he quite possibly have an ass that I can work with. Damn right he’s on my to do list. How could I not want to fuck him.

#5. Peter Gerety

An American actor who I’ve been a fan of his for years and every time I saw him on TV I wanted to fuck him silly.

#4. Jack McGee

An American television and film character actor who has appeared in over 100 films and television series. All in all, he’s basically a young Charles Durning, another hot chubby daddy I admired.

#3. Colin Baker

An English actor who played the sixth incarnation of the Doctor in the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who from 1984 to 1986. Discovered him recently and he’s all I can think about now.

#2. Gary Basaraba

Handsome face, hairy, tall husky physique and… that ass… Now that John Goodman has gone thin on us, it’s time we made Gary Basaraba our king!

#1. Brendan Gleeson

An Irish actor and film director. He is the recipient of three IFTA Awards, two BIFA’s, and a Primetime Emmy Award and has been nominated twice for a BAFTA Award, five times for a Golden Globe Award and once for an Academy Award, but all that pales in comparison in being #1 one on my list. My #1 one ginger daddy.

Every time the tumblr or twitter fandom is weird about Travis (and Laura) again, I remember:

that one Youtuber whose play through I watched, who went, in the scene where Travis hands Laura the gun to shoot him if she wants to: "Why the fuck would he say that? Why the fuck should she do that? They're FRIENDS. The writing is so fucking weird sometimes."

that other Youtuber who put Travis as his 4th fav character, right after Laura, Kaitlyn and Dylan

Ted Raimi being nominated for a Golden Joystick for Best Supporting Actor while Siobhan was nominated for a BAFTA for her performance.

And then I sleep peacefully. <3

[newtonsheffield]

Okay but how does Edwina react when she walks in on THE Anthony Bridgerton (the exact one from the cinema screen) half naked in her sister’s kitchen, groping her sister’s ass????

Kate and Anthony break apart to the sound of a startled

“What the fuck?!”

Anthony’s head shot up, blinking a little stupidly at his girlfriend’s sister “um Hi, I’m Anthony.”

“I know who you are,” Edwina waved him off, rounding in her sister. “Kate, what the fuck?!”

“I told you I’d kissed him, what do you want me to say?” Kate sighed kissing Anthony’s cheek as she tugged her shirt back down. “Though we’ve done a little more than that, now.”

Anthony flushed, smiling a little sheepishly.

And all Edwina could do was gape between her sister and a BAFTA nominated actor. “I don’t know what’s happening.”

“Anthony comes and buys coffee at the shop.”

“Right.”

“He likes black coffee, iced sometimes.”

“When it’s hot out.” Anthony cut in nodding

Edwina reeled. “That’s not really the part I’m interested in though noted.”

“Right and recently we’ve also been dating. We went on a picnic earlier.”

“It was nice.” Anthony nodded again. “Kate makes great pastries.”

“I am flummoxed.”

My Love and mostly hate for X-Men: First Class explained, aka, what this huge X-Men Fan calls the worst X-Men movie of all time(lol)

back in 2011 when X-Men: First Class was released, me and my sister decided to watch it on dvd rental release, naturally, whenever an interesting movie comes along, especially something that we've always been a fan of ever since childhood, we like to give things a shot, no harm done right?

well, you would think(lol)

X-Men: First Class is what I personally consider to be the worst X-Men movie, number one, it's directed by matthew vaughn, whom I personally detest because the asshole is an obvious dinosaur misogynist and misandrist, that's right, typical stupid Hollywood director that views both genders through a completely trashy and sexist lense and pretends to care about both genders, but I digress, so yeah, the director is an asshole, number 2, jennifer lawrence is a terrible and disgusting actress(that's a conversation for another time lol), number 3, most of the young mutants in this movie are dumb asses I couldn't give 2 shits about, number 4, Kevin Bacon who is a good actor ended up playing one of the worst and cheesy villains of all time(and not the good type of cheesy), his performance was just bad and brutal and felt like alot like an Austin Powers villain only you weren't laughing because this stupid movie wasn't a parody, although it sure as hell feels like one, a really bad one

this movie has too many fucking flaws to count, the forced heterosexuality of Charles Xavier, who is obviously a Gay Man, he's the Harvey Milk of the X-Men for crying out loud

I need to talk about the highlights/the good things about this movie now

1.) James McAvoy as Charles Xavier

ever since I was a fan of the original X-Men growing up, I was always curious to see who they'd get to play a young Charles, when they cast James McAvoy, I fell head over heels in love with the guy, he's a beautiful Scottish actor who often plays British characters and he has the natural sensitivity and compassion of Charles Xavier, his portrayal although at times suffered some mild cringe, was still a stellar and beautiful young portrayal of the leader of the X-Men, McAvoy's performance of Xavier was at it's best in X-Men: Days Of Future Past, I honestly think he should've been nominated for a BAFTA for that performance, his performance was so good and beautiful that everytime I rewatch that X-Men movie, I'm in tears because he put his entire soul into that performance, you believe that this compassionate man is at his lowest point, you see a man who loves others so much but now he's at rock bottom and now he needs help from the greatest X-Man of all time(Logan Howlett aka "The Wolverine"), but I digress

James McAvoy as Charles Xavier is one of the biggest highlights of this film for me

it angers me that they could've went further with the Civil Rights Allegories of the 1960s and 1970s, to me Charles Xavier has always been a cross between Martin Luther King Jr and Harvey Milk, both men were great leaders and were both pacifists, they wanted equal rights for everyone and didn't view violence as the answer and both were also killed because of their brave views

what this movie missed was the opportunity to make Charles Xavier into a canon Gay Rights Leader

to all us of X-Men Fans all over the world, majority of us have always assumed that Charles Xavier was a gay man, we could read in between the lines that he once had a romantic relationship with Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto, the man who is now his "enemy",

did anyone really buy that cheap ass fuck scene in the bar where Charles was trying to pick up a random woman? you call that flirting? I call that forcing a gay character to say stupid hetero things that they would never say in their lives unless they were deeply closeted

the entire time, throughout the whole movie, you can just feel the sexual/romantic tension between both Charles and Erik, these 2 men are head over heels in love with each other, but their views are so conflicting that it causes them to fight and not have a chance of being together/having a healthy romantic relationship

it's a tragedy, it's good story telling but it's also tragic

Charles and Erik are Gay and always have been, they're a tragic gay couple that can't be together because their beliefs aren't uniting them

2.) Michael Fassbender as Erik Lehnsherr

X-Men: First Class is the first time I've ever seen Michael Fassbender in a role and my God was he the perfect choice to be a young Erik Lehnsherr

honestly, without Michael and James' performances, this movie would completely fall apart and I think most people wouldn't even remember it

their chemistry is amazing, you actually believe that these 2 guys are head over heels in love with each other but because of their beliefs they just can't seem to find a middle ground with each other

their relationship is almost like Israel and Palestine, only Charles isn't dropping bombs

3.) Hugh Jackman's short Logan cameo

"go fuck yourself", only an icon can say those words and have everyone go wild, everyone knows that an X-Men movie without Logan isn't an X-Men movie worth watching

Logan aka Wolverine is our 80s action star when it comes to the X-Men Franchise, it's like watching a Terminator movie without a call-back or cameo from Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 aka Uncle Bob

I'll admit, when I heard that Hugh Jackman was reprising his role as Wolverine for Deadpool 3, I knew my butt would be in that seat in the theatre, I was like, okay, you got my attention, I love Wolverine, he was basically my sexual awakening at a very young age, I just didn't realize it at the time

so yeah, if it's an X-Men movie, you gotta have Wolfie

4.) That Take That Song that plays in the end credits of the movie

Love Love by Take That is a masterpiece of a song, it actually also fits the theme of the movie perfectly, almost like it's being sung from Charles' perspective

perfect band, perfect song, perfect movie idea, just a movie that has so many fucking problems

now, back to what made this movie so bad

it looked like they were catering to stupid people

it feels almost insulting to our intelligence

Super Hero Fans aren't stupid, we're actually very intelligent and we love good stories that have a positive impact

Stan Lee created the X-Men for the outsiders of society, the oppressed, Mixed Races, LGBT, people with disabilities and so on

so the fact that this movie was catered to a dumb hetero male audience is completely insulting

Gay Men and Gay Women make up a huge part of the X-Men fandom, and don't forget the Bisexuals either as well as others,

this movie could've dealt with and could've shown what life was like for Gay People in the 1960s and the 1970s, they could've made the parallels between Charles Xavier and Harvey Milk,

could you imagine a storyline where Charles becomes the first Gay mayor of New York in early 1970s?

that would've been really epic to see on film and it would've been really heartfelt and revolutionary

this movie lacks a soul, it has heart in some parts, but it caters to an audience that doesn't know what it feels like to be hated on simply for being just you

heterosexual men aren't killed everyday just for being hetero men, Gay Men and Trans Men and Trans Women however are victims of violent attacks everyday, society still hates us for something we have no control over

I know this got long and turned into a big rant about LGBT Rights and issues but I digress, that's another conversation for another time

but this movie really pisses me off, it had the potential to be one of the greatest X-Men movies ever made but because of a retarded director, the movie lost it's soul along the way

[cragsnow]

the documentary i was in last year got nominated for a fucking bafta, and i'm losing my mind. how do i process this?

[welivefast-dieyoung]

hate how the callum turner tag is now full of so many annoying weirdos now. love dua, but I need all these pop stans to stop speaking on his name. not even going to mention the taylor/joe nonsense either.

Lmmaoooo anon you're gonna get me into trouble because I've been wanting to say something for a hot fucking minute 😭 If you could see the way I've been ranting and raving in my drafts 💀All imma say is there has been this very odd shift in his perception on here and in tiktok comments that makes me so so confused, like I've seen the wildest takes about him online that are just filled with misinformation from people who have very clearly been around here for 2 minutes. Some people are acting like he was nothing or nobody and he's a massive social climber now despite the fact bro has a whole BAFTA nomination like?? Are we forgetting he was in FB too? Someone said he's never been papped before as if he wasn't quite famously papped with Vanessa like??? I must say I also fuck with Dua and even though pop girlies stans can be CRAZY it's not just her fans. Some of Austin's too have said some questionable things with absolutely no real basis to them. So it's coming from all sides atm. It just always confuses me when people with minimal knowledge on a subject talk about it anyway because that could NEVER be me. I'm scared to ask because #thatlady and her ex because her and her fanbase terrify me but you might have to mention that nonsense anon because I must have missed it 😭
